About the Composer:
Modest Mussorgsky was a pioneering Russian composer and a member of The Five (or The Mighty Handful), a group dedicated to creating a distinctly Russian classical style. Known for his bold harmonies and vivid storytelling, Mussorgsky’s works—such as Pictures at an Exhibition, Night on Bald Mountain, and the opera Boris Godunov—remain staples of the repertoire.
Une Larme (A Tear), composed around 1880, is a brief yet deeply emotional piece. Its subtitle, Pensée musicale (Musical Thought), reflects its intimate and contemplative nature. Some scholars interpret it as an autobiographical reflection, possibly tied to Mussorgsky’s personal struggles in his later years.
Musical Style & Performance Notes:
Lyrical and expressive, with a simple, song-like melody
Sparse textures and free-flowing phrasing, requiring sensitive musicality
Ideal for intermediate players seeking a piece with emotional depth
Well-suited for recitals, concerts, or competitions
This arrangement preserves the delicate beauty of Mussorgsky’s original while making it accessible to brass performers. Whether played on trumpet, horn, trombone, euphonium, or tuba, Une Larme offers a touching musical moment that resonates with audiences.
